all verizon phones are sold locked. you can contact them and tell them you are traveling overseas and need to use a local SIM card, or you can try the link in my SIG.
Feel free to PM me. I can provide details and instructions on how to Unlock your Verizon Storm 9530.
Dont bother. Just call verizon, tell them you are going overseas and that you would like to unlock the SIM card to use the phone there. They have to do it, and since you've been a verizon customer for at least 60 days, they will do it.
